At this year's PAX East, there's no problem at all with getting a bunch of Spartans together to have a good time. Maybe it'll happen on the Xbox One eventually.

It's the first day of Penny Arcade's annual fan gathering and East Coast geeks aren't letting the snow and cold stop them from breaking out their finest fictional character outfits. You can see a bunch in the pics below, which come courtesy of Dave Yang Photography. We'll be bringing you more cosplay over the weekend.
